The final line-up for next year’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) set to take place in Cote d’Ivoire in 2024 is complete.

This after Cameroon and Namibia secured their spots on Tuesday night among the AFCON 2023 final line-up.

The Indomitable Lions booked their place at a 19th straight final after thrashing Burundi 3-0 in Garoua to top Group C.

Goals from Bryan Mbuemo, Christopher Wooh and Vincent Aboubakar sealed a comfortable win to see off the challenge of Namibia, who took second as they also sealed their place at the competition.

Cameroon join host nation Cote d’Ivoire and 22 other qualified teams at the tournament in January next year with Ivory Coast playing hosts for the second time, having first done so in 1984.

CAF postponed this edition to take place from 13 January – 11 February 2024 due to the adverse summer weather concerns in Ivory Coast, whilst retaining the name 2023 Africa Cup of Nations for sponsorship purposes.

This also meant for the first time in AFCON history, the tournament was forced to be moved twice after the earlier edition.

Continental giants Senegal, Egypt, Nigeria, Ghana, Morocco and Algeria are all among those who have booked their tickets.

There will be no debutants as Gambia will be making their second appearance at the AFCON.

Meanwhile, others considered as underdogs such as Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau and Equatorial Guinea have also qualified as they seek to surprise the big sides.

AFCON 2023 FINAL LINE-UP

Egypt extended their record number of AFCON appearances to 26 by qualifying again.

The Gambia remain the tournament’s least experienced side following their maiden outing last year.

Mozambique return after a six-edition absence, while Zambia are back following a run of three straight misses.

With the qualifiers now over, the countdown begins to the draw as the teams will discover their opponents.

The group stage draw will take place, determining the opening match-ups.

Defending champions Senegal and regional powers Egypt and Nigeria as well as World Cup semi-finalists Morocco are likely to be among the pre-tournament favourites.

But with an array of talent across the 24 qualifiers, the competition for continental glory promises to be fierce.

All this games will be available on SportPesa when the tournament starts.
